A simplified process from the beginning of pregnancy

The DEMETER program (Screening for Maternal and Fetal Diseases and Risk Assessment) is for all patients in early pregnancy. It allows for the completion of all three early pregnancy appointments in a single visit.

One visit only for essential examinations

In approximately two hours, the patients achieve:

  • The first trimester ultrasound
  • Opening the file with a midwife
  • Early pregnancy blood test

This system allows examinations to be grouped together from the beginning of pregnancy into a single consultation.

Results transmitted quickly

The results are delivered within 48 to 72 hours during a telephone consultation.

This consultation allows:

  • Transmission of results (serology, blood test, trisomy 21 if performed)
  • Risk assessment
  • The proposal of a care pathway based on medical history and identified risk factors

Practical information

For any information or to make an appointment:

The DEMETER system thus makes it possible to group the stages of the beginning of pregnancy and ensure a rapid return of results.
